  • U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Russian and Ukrainian leaders as Washington sought to revive negotiations on ending the war.
  • Witkoff said the United States hoped to announce direct three-way talks soon, while Kushner said the format would allow all sides to communicate directly.
  • Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed new ideas but said the war would likely continue through the winter; Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described a growing atmosphere of trust in the U.S.-Russia channel.

After meeting leaders in Moscow and Kyiv, U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner returned with a cautiously hopeful message: Washington wants to revive direct three-way talks with Russia and Ukraine.

We hope to have a trilateral negotiation soon.

· Steve WitkoffThe U.S. envoy described Washington's hope of restarting direct talks among the United States, Russia and Ukraine.

At a news conference in Kyiv on Sept. 6, Witkoff said, "We hope to have a trilateral negotiation soon," without giving a date. He said the U.S. delegation was focused on finding a solution and that the parties now had the elements needed to reach an agreement. Witkoff also said he felt good about the discussions and believed diplomacy could help end the war.

Kushner said the format had worked before and should be restored. "One thing that Steve and I really believe would be effective is going back to the trilateral negotiation framework, something we were able to do about six months ago," he said. He argued that direct talks would let all sides communicate without the United States speaking on behalf of either Ukraine or Russia. Washington had discussed the idea with both sides and hoped to make progress soon. Earlier trilateral rounds had not resolved disputes over territory and security guarantees for Ukraine.

· Jared KushnerKushner explained why the American delegation favored restoring three-way negotiations.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the talks with the American delegation had produced "some new ideas" and described them as active, but he did not provide details. He supported efforts to arrange three-way meetings, possibly including European partners. At the same time, he acknowledged that the war would likely continue through the coming winter. He said Ukraine hoped to reach an agreement with the United States and receive European support if fighting continued.
